About Orlando

Orlando Hollingsworth is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom. He works with people who are struggling with anger, relationship problems, low self-esteem, motivation, and stress. He also supports those coping with major life changes and grief. Orlando uses a respectful and compassionate style in sessions and aims to create a space where people can begin to make small, steady changes.

With eight years of professional experience, Orlando draws on several therapeutic approaches to suit different needs. He uses client-centred ways of working to follow the person’s pace and priorities. He also uses cognitive behavioural ideas to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviours.

Orlando combines attachment-based and psychodynamic thinking when relationship patterns and earlier life experiences are affecting current reactions. Narrative techniques are used to help people tell and reshape their stories when past events keep causing pain. He adapts these methods into a practical plan that fits each person’s situation.

Sessions are shaped by the individual’s goals and comfort. He emphasises clear, down-to-earth conversation and practical steps between meetings. Orlando encourages people to try small changes and reflect on what does and does not work for them.

Many people come for help with anger and relationship strain, while others seek support for anxiety, depression, or career-related stress. Orlando aims to be patient and steady while people work through difficult feelings and build more workable patterns.

How his approaches work in online counselling

Orlando uses client-centred work to follow what matters most to each person, giving space for concerns to be named and paced. This approach helps when someone needs a listening, non-judgemental place to think through anger, grief or life changes.

He also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of acting. CBT-style techniques can be useful for anxiety, stress, motivation and managing anger through practical exercises.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Orlando will discuss your goals and preferences and adapt methods so they fit you. That collaborative process helps decide whether to focus on coping tools, past relationship patterns, or reshaping personal narratives.

The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around work or caring duties, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find these practical benefits helpful while they try new ways of responding to anger and relationship strain.
